JOHNSON COUNTY, IN — Donation collections will end Friday at 4 pm for Afghan refugees at Camp Atterbury near Edinburgh.

Eight Indiana National Guard armories around the state have been used as collection sites since September.

The move comes as many of the people leave Camp Atterbury and get resettled across the United States.

As of last Wednesday, more than 1.6 million items have been donated.
